Japanese Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Japanese language. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I think it is difficult for this site to cope with so many languages. (Since the primary user base is English-speaking)

Regarding that discussion on meta: I don't really see any consensus pointing at accepting questions in languages other than English or Japanese. I don't have a very strong opinion, but I think it's pretty established that these are the two only viable language options for the site (beside, the name is "Japanese Language and Usage", not "Langue et Usage du Japonais" ;-).

I was about to ask in English but Wiktionary does not say "bib" for "dossard" so there might be some English subtleties I am not getting. Also, a Google Images search for "bib" shows NOT A SINGLE image of what I am looking for: google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=bib

For the record, I wasn't questioning the use of the word 'dossard', but rather the fact that the entire question (and particularly title) was written in French and therefore perhaps not very accessible to the readership of this site.

I don't know about you, but I would never call that bit of cloth assigning a number to a marathon runner a "bib". To me, a "bib" is a small apron worn by small children to protect their clothing at mealtime.
